    Re: Suggestions for Chrome and Metal Cleaners and Polishes

    I am still waiting for comments on specific microfiber makes and types OR cotton cloths Autopians are using with their chrome and metal cleaners and polishes for wipe-off or applicators that you may be using with them as well.
    I ask because, as in glass cleaning, the cloth or microfiber type can (and will) determine the "acceptable-Autopian-standard" final appearance of cleaning or polishing chrome or metals.

    Re: Suggestions for Chrome and Metal Cleaners and Polishes

    I may not be a true Autopian based on this answer, but I`ll typically use MF towels on their last legs that are still soft or rags I`ve made from worn out T-shirts. I`ve found polishing exhausts to be really dirty work whether due to exhaust soot or polishing byproducts and the metal polish itself. Rags/cloths are never the same again and I usually toss them. For the 0000 steel wool I use, there are probably multiple brands which are suitable.

    If I was polishing out chrome trim or wheels, I`m sure I`d look at it completely different.

    I use a “wheel” microfiber for polishing metal and if it’s exhaust, I’ll start with the Lake Country Exhaust Polishing Sponge.

    Chrome and stainless are so hard that I never worry much about what the product-application media are...cotton, MF, foam...doesn`t seem to make a diff.
